The Datalogic SC8000 is a powerful system controller, based on industrial PC architecture, specialized in real time data collection, elaboration and system supervision. Modern applications in the logistic field need to collect large amounts of data in a very short time interval, elaborate this information in real time, transmit the data through high-speed channels and to provide a user-friendly interface. This technological trend is even truer for material handling applications using bar code technology. SC8000 fully satisfies all these needs.

SC8000 is fitted with specialized hardware and software to collect data from Datalogic bar code readers through a fast bus protocol at 1.25 Mb/sec. An innovative range of features makes the SC8000 unique in terms of service and maintenance. The ability to remotely control the SC8000 via Ethernet or modem is a real benefit for service operators, and the available industrial keyboard and VGA display enable full operability on the field. Furthermore, the separation between the logic and wiring units, together with the removable commercial CompactFlash™ storage memory card, makes any maintenance operation easy and fast, hence reducing the cost of ownership of the OMNI-station. The resulting SC8000 MTTR (mean time to replace) is about 5 minutes.

The SC8000's open architecture has expansion slots for PC/104 standard cards, available for any kind of serial interface and I/O cards, so that the SC8000 can control and activate local devices or switches.

SC8000 is equipped with 4 serial ports, an Ethernet interface and a CompactFlash™ memory card for local data storage.
